Hi TrainFreak <br />I started with an LGB train Set as well. <br />All the advice so far has been good. <br />The Aussies on the forum will be familiar with the KISS principle <br />which means Keep It Simple Stupid in Aus this is NOT insulting in the planning concepts and context where it is used. <br />It is the principle that must be remembered when doing you track plan <br />stations like Sydney Central, Paddington or Grand Central what ever the US equivelent is are out, otherwise you will be spending all your time on maintainace instead of playing trains, another piece of advice I can offer. <br />All the articals I read when I started said bury the wiring under the track <br />DON'T DO IT instead bury pipes beside the line with small pits made from 6" pipe and end caps for the lids this way wiring can be easaly added to <br />or changed. <br /> The ugly looking pits can be painted in earth tones and then softend by some clever use of plantings if the wiring is buried under the track altering or repairing it will become a night mare. <br />regards John
